PMCNAM Posted October 2, 2012 Author Share Posted October 2, 2012 For those who are interested in snowfall forecasting... Seasonal Snowfall Forecast Contest 2012-2013 Welcome to the 1st annual seasonal snowfall forecast contest! Enter your season snowfall total forecasts for the 10 cities below. All cities have NWS offices and long-term climatology stations in or near the city. All forecasts should be submitted for those climatological reference stations not the nearest airport. If any snow has already fallen at the stations by the time you submit your forecast the amount will still be included in the season total. Rules Forecasts are in inches with no decimal places. The ranking system will be based on the average error of all the cities combined. Every inch away from verification will count as 0.5 error points. The top three forecasters will earn badges for their profiles. The effective end date for this forecast is May 31st. The winners will be announced on June 3rd. If snow falls after the end date it will not be counted in the forecast verification. http://nationalforecaster.com/index.php?page=special/seasonal_snowfall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
